The total water usage for a city is 40,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 14% is for personal use and 30% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
1,250
9,800
10,000
6,400

Solution

30% of the water consumption is industrial use and 14% is personal use so (30% - 14%) = 16% more water is used for industrial purposes. 40,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{16}{100} \) x 40,000 gallons = 6,400 gallons.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
10
11
19
18

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11

If a car travels 420 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
70 mph
75 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{420mi}{6h} \)
70 mph
